Is it normal to become everything you didnt wanna be?

Answer 1

It would be "normal" in this sense:

For me, I had a lot of big dreams when I was younger. But all the while, I didn't believe in myself. I kept telling myself I was no good and would never make it. Well, that became a self-fulfilling prophecy, because I never DID "make it," and I was thoroughly disappointed in life.

The good news is that I have now rejected that thinking. Instead of saying "I CAN'T do this or that," I now say "How CAN I do this or that?"

It's remarkable that now, because I've shifted my thinking, positive opportunities are coming my way. I believe that our thinking has a profound effect on our lives - if we think successfully, then success is drawn to us. If we think about failure, then failure is drawn to us.

The good news is that no matter how "old" you are, you can change your thinking TODAY. Try it.

Answer 2

If we stop following our hearts then yes.

Know who you are and what you want to do. Make positive steps in achieving what you want to achieve.

Realising that you are not happy with what you're doing is the most important thing because then you can take the steps needed to change and get back on the right path for you.

Answer 3

Absolutely! I never wanted to be in my current occupation, I never wanted to date an overly good looking man and I always wanted to be married by age 25. It seems like everything in life went against my way...but I'm still perfectly happy.

Answer 4

Yes it is. As a child and teen, I was rebellous, full of angst and other negative behaviors. When I became a mother, it all changed. I did not want my child to become another me so I changed my parenting from that of my parents and I changed myself.

Answer 5

only if you keep stepping over the boundary's you have set for your self...setting new ones and stepping over them.
for instance...
my daughter at 5 got a bag of m&m's from a friend of mine.
She decided to give them to her brother.
then she opened them ( stepping over her boundry she set for herself)
I guess I will just eat the tan ones....
next the green ones went...another boundry.
well this went on and on. when we pulled into the garage..
she only had the brown ones left
"oh well brother dosent like the brown ones anyway"
and they were all gone.
she had past up all the boundrys she had set but was disapointed in herself when she had NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE,
get the picture??

Answer 6

it's not normality that matters. it concerns the possibility of you becoming what you didn't want to be. but to answer your question, i believe so.. it's not us who knew from the moment we were born to know what would become of us as we grow old. it's only us who draws our path. it's only us who makes our dreams. we might want this one thing in our future, unfortunately, we didn't had it. instead, He gave us what we didn't expect. that's because He knows what is best for us.

Answer 7

Funny how life throws that at you isn't it. I feel that way alot sometimes...Why didn't I set higher goals for myself..In my case it seems the things I judged as making me feel secure,haven't. It's all lifes lessons though I imagine.

Answer 8

Absolutely. That's why we hear about those rare individuals that are actually living life the way they dreamed it would be.

Answer 9

It's called a mid-life crisis. It's never too late to be something else (except if you have kids...get them grown first--they need you).

Answer 10

oh so sad but true...
All those things I said I would never do.
Some i regret with pain,
some i accept and will do again.
then agin,
it has been said, to thine own self be true...
and therefore, do not become,
someone elses idea of you!
